Drama Therapists in Santa Ana, CA

I believe in your resilience. I am a psychotherapist with specialized training in Drama Therapy. I will collaboratively work with you to help you create the changes you want in your life.

✨ By virtue of holding space for you to make meaning out of your experiences, intersections of identity, and personal and ancestral past, I specialize in providing Culturally Conscious, Liberation-Oriented, Neuro-affirming, Trauma-Informed, Nervous System-Centered, and social justice-aligned offerings of healing that align with your desire to unify mind, body, and spirit, healing both present and intergenerational wounds, and connecting with self, others, and surroundings.

Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

I support people in their self-esteem, in their new orientation and in their talents and happiness. I train people for a better appearance in authentic branding. I offer strong solutions for a fulfilled life.

Caring-hearted, when painful experiences disrupt you, find peace. Helping Good-Hearted Confident People Recover from a Life Shock! If your life was disrupted by an unexpected experience and you cannot stop the cycles of self-doubt, sorrow or frustration, help is here. While you have achieved some success and happiness, a curve ball has changed your emotions. You wish for life to feel like a warm hug or uplifting event but instead you are exhausted from grief and perhaps, confusion. This leads to loneliness. You long to find peace.

Santa Ana is one of the most densely populated cities in the United States and has an overwhelmingly Latino population — predominantly Mexican American, with significant Central American communities — making Spanish-speaking and bicultural therapists not a specialty but a baseline requirement for meaningful access to care. The city's families navigate a complex mix of immigration stress, economic precarity, and the particular challenges of raising children across cultures, and therapists fluent in both language and cultural context serve an essential community function. CHOC Children's and the broader Orange County healthcare system provide institutional mental health resources, though access can be limited by insurance and immigration-related barriers. Telehealth has meaningfully expanded therapy access for Santa Ana residents who prefer culturally matched care over what is available locally.
